Locally...

These men are so SOL... Might it not have behooved you to talk to a few of your compatriots before coming to the Sandbox to see how things work, here, for men such as yourselves? Good luck with your plight, but if you want to stay and work, you'll do the menial laborer jobs that you've now been assigned to do, and for a lot less compensation, for no benefits, and living conditions that are far below standard. Oh. And, you will like it. Recourse? Ha. You have none!

Just another maid... Who slit her wrist after being here for six months who was in "a constant state of shock and sadness." May peace be with you, now.

Good grief! Just how fast were you going when you crashed into the back of that garbage truck?!?

Oh my! What are the chances of this, happening? I guess, stranger things...

About Me

Once upon a time, in the not too distant past, there was a Woman who thought she was living the American Dream. Her childhood, although now not particularly memorable, was fairly normal. She went to school. She got a job. She met a tall, blonde and handsome pilot and married him. It was all good. They were the perfect “Ken and Barbie” couple. The handsome pilot built her the house of her dreams in North Carolina, where she thought they would live for the remainder of their many, many days to come. Circumstances, totally out of the control of this lovely Ken and Barbie couple, changed everything. Shortly afterward, they came to find themselves living a whole new life in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Oh, sure, they are still the perfect “Ken and Barbie” couple, but Barbie now wears an abeyah over her designer outfits when she leaves her house, she has given up her pink convertible because she is not allowed to drive, and she no longer has an office that she visits five days a week, instead choosing to spend her time as a stay-at-home wife and an over-protective, doting Mommy to their two absolutely adorable, much loved and very, very pampered four-legged “Kids.”
